Idiom: Change your tune
A great thing about opinions is that they can change; when a person changes their opinion, we can say that they have changed their tune.
Everyone has an opinion on everything.
The incredible part is that opinions are not wrong or right.
Opinions are just what a person thinks about a situation.
Sometimes, a song gets stuck in your head, right?
All day long, you hear one song in your head.
Then, later on, you walk past a store and hear another song.
Now, that song is running through your head.
Opinions can be like that, too.
You have a particular opinion for a long time, then one day, after having a conversation with a new friend, you change your tune, and now you have a different opinion.
When a person changes their tune, this change will benefit them.
Quite often, people who associate with each other share similar opinions.
Sharing similar opinions helps people get along with each other, which could be why you change your tune after a conversation with a new friend – you want to get along with them.
